Except that every so often that works against you. We went to an amusement park once and we got online and asked out kids which rides they wanted to go on because you could decide ahead of time to pay in advance for a special ticket that would save you money if you were going to ride a whole ton of things (thrill & kid/family rides) as opposed to just kid & family rides. My one son, who had been super brave on rides at our last amusement park, wanted to ride everything, so we paid for the special pass. The day arrives, and suddenly DS is afraid of nearly everything and only rode a handful of rides! It would have been cheaper had we never known about the special pass, LOL!No arguments from me on that. You should absolutely do at least a bare minimum of research if you're going anywhere that costs money.
Overall, though, doing some advance planning is definitely my style, but the phrase "best laid plans" exists for a reason, too. Sometimes you can perfectly plan and things go very differently than how you planned. But I definitely understand that planning isn't enjoyable for everyone and they like going places where you can just arrive and have fun. I like that too....but I'm cheap, and pre-planning for me, is a way to control costs---except for when it doesn't work, LOL!!
